Proverbs 24:27-34
-
27 Prepare thy work without, and make it fit for thyself in the field; and afterwards build thine house.
-
28 Be not a witness against thy neighbour without cause; and deceive not with thy lips.
-
29 Say not, I will do so to him as he hath done to me: I will render to the man according to his work.
-
30 I went by the field of the slothful, and by the vineyard of the man void of understanding;
-
31 And, lo, it was all grown over with thorns, and nettles had covered the face thereof, and the stone wall thereof was broken down.
-
32 Then I saw, and considered it well: I looked upon it, and received instruction.
-
33 Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep:
-
34 So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth; and thy want as an armed man.
